Borg Backup integrity check fails

Hi everyone,

for some reason my backup integrity check fails but im not really understanding why because i haven’t touched the installation for a while. Backup and Restore seams to work so far.
This is the output from the log:

Checking the backup integrity...

Some errors were found while checking the backup integrity!
Check the AIO interface for advices on how to proceed now!

Thanks!

It looks like you need to remove the config.old file

Hi szaimen,

is there a special way this needs to be done (execpt simply deleting it)?

Thanks
Cheers

I guess you need to delete it, yes.
